Lions and Tigers ...Oh My!!

On Saturday the girls and I went to the Conservators Center in Mebane for the annual tree toss. What a wonderful time we had! We were so close to the animals, you really get a feel for their power and strength being in such proximity to them. They were wonderful. The sounds heard from their movements was a little unnerving at times. You definitely have a better understanding by the time you leave how small and powerless humans really are in the grand scheme of things.

The girls and I can't wait to go back on a day that isn't quite as muddy!! I would love to adopt one of tigers, however, we'll have to see how Cliff feels about that!!

How Beautiful!!



Christmas Morning

Christmas was wonderful this year! Santa was very, very good to the girls and we enjoyed spending the day with Nana and Papa and the four puppies.

Tori was home on break from ECU for a few weeks and it was nice to have everyone together again for more than just the weekend.



Merry Christmas!!

Me and my babies!!

 Next year however, I am planning to go away for Christmas like we did a few years ago. I am hoping everything works out, and we can go to Disney for Christmas again. Everything just seems so magical there at this time of the year!! Everyone wold love to go again, so hopefully it works out.

Christmas Parade and Dance Party!!

Every year the dance studio is in the Sanford Christmas Parade. This year was the first time it was at night since we've been going. It definitely added some extra excitement trying to watch all the little girls running around in the dark with big floats lining up!! It was a success anyway and Cliff, being the awesome dance Dad he is, walked the entire route to make sure his baby was safe!

This year the dance Christmas party was bigger than ever!! The secret Santa gifts were fabulous and there was a ton of wonderful food for all to enjoy! The girls also had a blast dancing the evening away to all their favorite music!! Kudos to Ms. Tori on this one!!
